How Syria’s ‘diversity-friendly’ jihadists plan on building a state

It happens. On December 8, a few hours after the controlled collapse of the Syrian army, Muhammad al Julani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al Sham [Organization for the Liberation of the Levant, HTS, Syrian branch of al Qaeda] arrives in Damascus.

In an interview that The Times of Israel published on December 6, the jihadist warlord stated

We are open to friendship with everyone in the region – including Israel. We don’t have enemies other than the Assad regime, Hezbollah and Iran. What Israel did against Hezbollah in Lebanon helped us a great deal

Anyway, I guess that Israel is not asking his opinion. On December 8, Tsahal occupies strategic positions in Syrian Quneitra province, close to the already annexed Golan. And in the evening, the Israeli air force flattens military facilities in Damascus

Hezbollah lines of communications with Iran are cut in Syria and Benjamin Netanyahu can carry on with mass crimes, mass killing and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Meanwhile, at the border with Turkey, the Neo-Ottoman auxiliaries don’t waste time. Around Manbij, the so-called Syrian National Army (SNA), minority factions compared to al Qaeda, are attacking the Kurdish militias. The usual mission of the latter, the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), is to guard oil fields in eastern Syria, on behalf of the US

Good news: Bashar Assad has managed to reach safety, likely in Russia. Here is the national anthem of former secular Syria, a TV broadcast in the morning of November 2

CNN journalists are wizards, able to transform a wanted Jihadist into a nice and moderate Syrian rebel, whose goal is to overthrow Bashar Assad
